If you have Factions and Guildwars - Guild Wars Forums

Should you install the client from the factions cd's if you already had guildwars prophecies installed ?

Or does it not matter at all ?

Cheers

Not really, you can just add the key and let the Factions content stream to your comp via the login screen. But that's slow since the campaign alone clocks in at about 1.5GB, so just install the game from the discs so that only the files added after release are downloaded after.

Still install it I believe...thats why you get CD's and not just a access key.

The Factions CD has some of the Factions content on it. If you install that, you won't have to download so much when you use your exsisting program in Factions.

And Lavindathar, you get a CD with each chapter because not everyone has every (or any) chapters.

All you really need is the key, but doing an install from the CD may save you some download time.

I doubt installing the cds will save any streaming time since so many files have changed etc. But I suppose it won't hurt.
